you tomorrow night as on "fox report" we continue our series "the rise of freedom." we hope you'll be with us here for it. all across europe today, large crowds of union supporters gathered to protest in a huge way the cost-cutting measures their governments have made in recent months. many of these moves have cut their pensions and raised their taxes in order to avoid the country's financial collapse. security forces report the demonstrations were mostly peaceful but police in brussels, belgium, say they detained more than 100 people who took part in a sit down protest in the middle of the street while police in dublin, ireland, arrested a man who used a cement truck to block the entrance to parliament. ashley webster is live this morning from london and ashley, these folks seem really upset. >> yeah, shep. they really are. bottom line, union workers across europe say you know what? we are paying a very heavy price for the recklessness of banks and traders who created the very problems that led to the recession in the first place.
